This Week in Biology!!!! external image LessonPlan.jpg





Sunshine Standard Benchmarks to be covered this week...
  • SC.912.L.14.1 "Describe the scientific theory of cells (cell theory) and relate the history of its discovery to the process of science."
  • SC.912.L.14.2 "Relate structure to function for the components of plant and animal cells. Explain the role of cell membrane as a highly effective barrier (passive and active transport)."

Learning Objectives
  • Using the Internet, students will locate and properly recite the definition of the cell theory with a 100% accuracy.
  • Using Inspiration, the students will construct a diagram depicting the process of the cell theory discovery to the process of science with a 95% accuracy.
  • Using PowerPoint, the students will relate each cell structure of the plant and animal to its specific function with a 95% accuracy.
  • Using Microsoft Word, the student will design a flyer that informs the reader of the important role the specific cell structure plays in life.
  • Using Movie Maker, the group will compose a video that depicts the roles of active and passive transport in the cell body.

Media we will use...
  • Internet
  • Laptop Carts
  • Powerpoint
  • Movie Maker
  • Microsoft Word
  • Inspiration

Things to do...
  • Create a PowerPoint of plant and animal cell structures and functions. Give notes for students to study for quiz and their PowerPoint assignment.
  • Reserve laptop carts for the students to use for PowerPoints and digital videos.
  • Assign groups for the digital video project.
  • Create handouts depicting the structures and functions for students to take home.

My expectations from this week...

This week, I hope that the students will be able to verbally express to me what the cell theory is. I want the students to be able to see the structure of the cell and to know, off hand, the function. I want the students to have knowledge of passive and active transport, and for them to describe, in writing, how the transport is important to cell life.
